Outer Ledges trail piggybacks off of Ledges trail, and is a really fun, twisty piece of trail with some technical rocks and fun switchbacks. While not very long, the trail can be challenging depending on skill level, and if you choose to climb it (basically south to north), there are some challenging steeper sections of which to be aware. Enjoy
